About 7 stone 3 lbs in about 10 months. :o :o :o My target was 7 stone 2 lbs and Dr. Fred says I could lose up to 7 stone 7 lbs, but I wouldn't want to lose anymore than that.
I couldn't be...
Well, I was using CalorieCount, which I still use for logging my weight, but their graphing wasn't so good after about 6 months, so I created my own in Excel.
Normal would be to lose your excess weight in 9-18 months. This isn't a week by week thing. You might expect to lose up to 1/2 of it in the first 3 months, but again everyone is different. But if...
As I understand it, the main reason for not drinking is that with the sleeve fluids can easily fill you up (it is different than the not drinking for the band). If you get full on fluids, then you...
wiglet, we can't be too far away, I am in Eliburn! Dr. De Beoux was my surgeon too... The Spire folks are EXCELLENT. Also, if your followup is with Dr. Fred, he is great. I have had him for a...
My responses...
1. Yes... It took about 6 months for me, but I am a lot less noisy than I was.
2. Yes... The cravings get easier. I remember distinctly getting depressed that I would never sit...
Here is what my weight loss looks like for the past year. As I have gotten to the "maintain" mode I have stopped recording my weight unless it is less than my previous weight, but it hasn't gone up...
I think we really have to put in perspective "falling off the wagon" post sleeve. Part of the major driver for me getting the sleeve is that I didn't want to have the roller-coaster guilt/success...
As others have said "don't beat yourself up". I think you have a dose of your "fat brain" talking, which says you aren't good enough to deserve to lose weight, that you are going to fail. It is...

It has gotten generally better for me, but there are still times when I eat something and it feels stuck there. What happens to me now is that if I am not able to control my food enough is that I...
I was worried about this too, but I just spent the last 6 weeks losing 1.5 lbs, so it seems my weight has stabilised. I am not past my target weight, but I think I might lower it to 190. The doctor...
I stopped counting calories a long time ago and just focused on protein. At least for me, focusing on protein is all I needed to do. In fact my doctor wouldn't tell me how many calories I should be...
I find nuts actually some of the best protein for me to digest. At 12 weeks out, I would give them a try. In fact I would guess somewhere around 1/2 my protein comes from nuts. The biggest problem...
For me things smell and sound much better before I eat them. I am getting better in the sense that I have "relearned" the smells and tastes that my stomach likes a lot and those things now "wet" my...
I think we potentially can all benefit from understanding that "stop eating when full" means one of two things post-sleeve. "Stop eating when not hungry" or "stop eating when physically full". The...
It was like that for me too, and 8 months out it has almost gotten to be normal. The first few weeks are really difficult for some people (like me) and laxatives didn't quite work. From what I...

The human body is an amazing thing, and stomachs stretch. Is it the size it used to be, highly unlikely, but it is bigger then when she had the surgery, highly likely? As others have said, it is a...
Thanks! I joined the group...
1) How has your life changed since the sleeve, dramatically? is it just as you expected or less than?
Dramatically and just as I expected. The medical team did a very good job of preparing me for...
Well, I parted with mine, gladly. Once I lost the weight, it really wasn't doing anything for me and while it served a big purpose, I was more than happy not to need it anymore.
I used to get real frustrated at the grocery store, wandering up and down the isles, trying to find things that I was motivated to eat. I wouldn't want X because I thought it would not go down...
Been doing a daily Starbucks about 5 weeks after surgery. If loving it is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
